Island of contrasts

Walking to the north coast of Westray I’m struck by how diverse the views are.

Here are Curlews on the bay with amazing muted Orkney colours.

There’s a suspicious domestic cat on the rocks of the shore.

Hundreds of Painted Lady Butterflies have flown in.

And there’s a Water Crowfoot, probably Brackish Water Crowfoot, Ranunculus baudotii, in the pool.

It’s just gone over its peak, as have I, metaphorically and literally.
